earlier than planned, the new front splitter is on.....





there have been issues with it however, but im going to give it a couple of days and see how i feel about it after the weekend

it may very well end up in the For Sale section, and the v6 splitter being repaired and put back on, its a real shame and very frustrating as ive been after one of these for a while

Looks like a good fit. Whats the issue

it doesnt really sit 'right', cant explain it, but you know when something isnt just right?

And doesnt really fit the lines of the car, which i know sounds odd as it was designed speciffically for the BA.

problem is is there are gaps aplenty, mainly in the recess, it sits the best part of 5mm too short on either side, and also bows out a little on the sides too, really really frustrating.
Im going to have another play about with it when it stops raining, but i would guess it will be off later tonight and in the For sale section.....

Ahh well, you cant win them all

The love has returned

All it needed was a bit of colour coding, a very slight repositioning to even out the gap either side, and some cunning angles to cast the gaps into shadow, yes they are still there, but only down to 5mm either side now.



Safe to say its not heading for the For Sale section

Does look good Paul

Cheers Ayrton, i think the angles draw the eye away from the gaps, think all of it matt black was just too much

Does look far better colour coded!

The weekend should show a rather new development for Womble........

she will be getting



Ayrton's c/f skinned bonnet ,

now i just need to clean the rest of her to make the bonnet look at home

Nice!Don't forget to carb. the front lights too..

This is true, i was thinking about it this afternoon, lights will be going back to standard with no eyebrows as i really dont think ill get any wrap which will come close to matching in with the c/f, but you never know

popped through to see ayrton today to pick up/fit his old c/f skinned bonnet onto Womble......



tiny pics i know, but dont worry im sure there will be more to follow ha ha



over the moon with it, and i think it suits the colour and shape of the car too...


and while i was there, there was someone hiding in the garage...

That does look really cool! Agree, I think it really suits the car. The colour-coded splitter sets it off as well

really does suite your car bud

Deb still isnt a fan of it, just need to find the right sticker to go over the bottom corner now to finish it off

Wow what a transformation, looks stunning mate

some larger pics....shameless i know

Looking good there dude! Nice work!

Looks sweet mate, very nice

That is looking quite a beast

looks really great

Cheers for the comments guys , gotta say im very happy with the way she is looking at the moment

Looking good mate!

Just needs the mazdaspeed sideskirt now

Cheers sneakz.......Im saving up

and hopefully the rear spatz too

Looks really nice that!




don't forget, we can make up a custom sticker for it

Cheers Marc , ive got a mazdaspeed sticker on there for the moment, if inspiration strikes me at some point ill give you a shout, i was kind of thinking of something similar to the 'sports mind' one you did for Dale a while back.

Finally fitted my clear fog light too.....nice n easy job, only taken me a month....ha ha ha

also discovered that not only did our local council build us a brand new leisure centre, they included an underground car park too......



would have been rude not to take a pic or two

Beautiful

why thank you , seeing how very easy it was to take the fog light housing apart with just some boiling water, im off to get some orange indicator bulbs for the front, and im going to de-tango the front indicators/sidelights...

Don't go to all that hassle, and then fit orange bulbs! Buy Philips silver vision bulbs, so you don't see any orange until they are lit. Yes, there are cheaper ones, but the philips are nice and bright, the others I've seen use a cheaper thicker coating...

Thanks for the tip , and yep, orange was never an option
